Syria attacks

Istanbul - Arab Today

Turkish police on Friday raided the premises of a daily newspaper staunchly opposed to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, using tear gas and water cannon to break up crowds and enter the building, an AFP photographer said.

Police fired the tear gas and water cannon to move away a hundreds-strong crowd that had formed outside the headquarters of the Zaman newspaper in Istanbul following a court order for it to be placed under administration.
